Compaction drift
Context windows fill up. Summaries replace details. Decisions fade.
Crust-agents drift. The Reef remembers.
A local-first task manager that gives AI agent teams persistent memory, structured state, and human-steerable coordination.
Local-first · macOS native · Your data stays yours · Open-source templates in v2
App Preview Coming Soon
Context windows fill up. Summaries replace details. Decisions fade.
Even in-context, LLMs lose the middle. Important state gets lost in the noise.
New sessions start blank. Your agent doesn't remember yesterday.
01
Tasks, projects, and decisions live in a persistent local store — not in a context window. The Reef is the source of truth.
02
When an agent wakes up, it reads from the Reef. When it finishes work, it writes back. Memory survives compaction, restarts, and model switches.
03
Browse the memory DAG. Pin important decisions. Override agent plans. You see what the agent sees — and you can correct it.
Hierarchical summarization tree. See how your agent compressed context. Expand any node to the original messages.
A living graph of your pods, projects, and tasks. Drag, zoom, and explore the structure your agents built.
Infinite whiteboard with JSON Canvas support. Map ideas, connect concepts, import/export.
Flexible columns per pod. Drag tasks across status lanes. Scales with your window.
Designed dark from day one. Not a light theme with a dark paint job. WCAG AA contrast throughout.
SQLite on your Mac. No cloud required. No subscription. Your data never leaves your machine.
Building with Claude, GPT, or open-source models? Reef gives your agents persistent memory without managing a database.
Running multi-agent teams? Reef is the coordination surface — task assignment, state tracking, memory inspection.
Using AI assistants daily? Reef captures what your assistant forgets between sessions.
Operation Reef ships soon for macOS. Join the early access list.
